Dorothy’s Dictionary

Written by E.M. Lewis

High school student Zan is putting in his community service hours when he meets Dorothy, a book-lover who’s losing her eyesight. Each of them might just have what the other needs…if they can only find the words. Powerful, heartwarming, and timely, this new play by award-winning playwright E.M. Lewis is perfect for older and younger adults.

Dorothy’s Dictionary has been developed with the support of LineStorm Playwrights, Public Theater of San Antonio, and Willamette University’s Theatre 33. The play was the winner of the Portland Civic Theater Guild New Play Award, and received a virtual staged reading produced by the PCTG as part of the 2022 Fertile Ground Festival of New Works in Portland.
